SJSU King Library’s Post

🚀 The Role of Generative AI in Academic Assignments, although hearing numerous stories and approaches for effective evaluation. In the evolving landscape of education, Generative AI (GAI) tools have become a double-edged sword for both academics and students. However, they also pose significant challenges, including academic dishonesty and over-reliance on technology. I came across this viral post from IIT Goa. After looking at it, it totally blew my mind. What a terrific way to go a step ahead and push your students to use their own intelligence and cross all the boundaries. Looking forward to having comments from the educational and scholarship practitioners. #education #GAI #challenges #students #ukuniversities

SDSU's Information and Technology division collaborated with Associated Students, San Diego State University to spearhead a groundbreaking initiative, orchestrating a triumph in the creation of a Generative AI student survey that shattered our ambitious target. We set our sights on 3,500 responses, but we defied expectations by an astounding 200%, recording an impressive 7,811 student voices. After the results were unveiled the highly innovative dynamic duo from IT, James Frazee and Jerry Sheehan extended an invitation for me to speak at their November 15th Information Exchange. I answered a crucial question central to Administration and Faculty's stance in the AI revolution: How do our students envision the university's dance with artificial intelligence? Answer: Harness it, integrate it, infuse AI with an abundance of SDSU's data, unleashing a tidal wave of innovation that generates SDSU’s rise in University rankings! If we move fast, and if we move first we are poised to chart a course to unprecedented heights in the ever-evolving landscape. Time for SDSU's AI-powered ascendancy to commence! #ai #sdsu #informationtechnology #university #innovationunleashed

Insightful take aways from this talk with Reid Hoffman and Nicholas Dirks regarding AI and higher education. #AIandeducation #reidhoffman #oseaangelinvestors

We at King's College London had a cohort from a number of African countries work through the Generative AI in HE course together last week, coordinated by a Prof in South Africa. I really liked the way they met separately before, during and after and sustained conversations as they went, in the comments and discussion areas. I think it added significant value to a course that is already proving popular. Some of their feedback can be seen below. It's free for two weeks from the day you sign in- why not take a cohort through at your institution? I and my fellow course leads Oguz A. Acar and Charlotte Haberstroh would love to see more cohorts within the biogger cohort. Join over 3000 participants from 123 countries. https://lnkd.in/eGXEEHet "Week one has really been an eye opener to me, in terms of the conceptualization of GenAI, the 5 layers of AI and their interdependence, the tools which I practically tested out, the philosophical question regarding creativity and anthropomorphism, the advantages and limitations of using AIs and some of the mitigation strategies, as well as a ethical dilemma around GenAI in the context of HE. I am excited to cross into week 2! "I feel like I always do when I am learning something that is completely new, makes perfect sense, and I can't believe I didn't know of it before! Learner's high." "I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the introduction of the AI course in the Higher Education context. It has been nothing short of an eye-opener, and I believe it's a significant step forward for our academic community."

🌟 Exciting News from the University of Amsterdam 🌟 It is exciting to announce that starting in April, I will be serving as the new Program Director of the BSc in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Amsterdam. This role is not just an honor but a profound responsibility, given our program's pioneering history in AI education since the 1990s—a time when AI was more a subject of science fiction than a scientific discipline. As we navigate the era of Foundation Models and Large Language Models, it is clear that AI is no longer just a tool for technologists. Its potential to revolutionize nearly every aspect of society is immense. This is a great mement to explore critical questions that will shape our curriculum and influence the future of AI education: - What defines AI, and what should an AI curriculum encompass? - What skills are essential for the next generation of AI scientists? - How can AI education be interdisciplinary, impacting fields from physics to chemistry, humanities, linguistics, mathematics, medicine, biology, ...? - How do we ensure AI is accessible to all, promoting an inclusive future? - How can we integrate the principles of #openscience to accelerate innovation across all sciences? The University of Amsterdam has always been at the forefront of AI education, and with these guiding questions, I am committed to pushing the boundaries further, ensuring our students are not only proficient in AI technologies but also ethical and innovative thinkers who can lead in a technologically advanced world. Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey to define the future of AI education. Starting from an already strong and successful BSc, we will next craft a program that prepares students to be pioneers of an AI-driven era, ensuring AI benefits everyone, everywhere. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIeducation #UniversityOfAmsterdam #OpenScience #Innovation

I agree with Bryan Alexander's point in his Substack article (From 2023 to 2024 in AI, part 2: Notes on culture and higher education). He states that: "For an academic institution to take emerging AI seriously it might have to set up a new body. Present organizational nodes are not necessarily a good fit...Perhaps a committee or team is a better idea, with members drawn from a heterogeneous mix of the community." This is the same approach that Rutgers faculty used when creating the SOCRATES Project that I discussed in my post from yesterday. I believe that creating interdisciplinary teams is the best way to advance conversations about AI, both in K-12 schools and in higher education. https://lnkd.in/g5Nb7nRF? https://lnkd.in/gWERBZpy

A very interesting development in the approach to AI use in education. It would seem that we may need to reduce essay / report summative assessment in favour of in-centre assessment that eliminates the possibility of students submitting AI produced assessments…
